The selection process culminates next month with the United States Equestrian Federation Open Reining Championship, which is being held as part of Battle in the Saddle. Thirty horses will be competing for five spots on the team.
Ride safely this summer with EquiMedic USA Inc. EquiMedic offers equine first-aid kits to meet all of your horse and rider emergency needs at the barn, along the road and on the trail.
At AQHA, we’re thrilled that the sport of reining – the only western discipline on the international stage – is coming home! A reining horse’s athletic stops and spins are rooted in ranch work.
